I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 135: Obtained By Chance

The Azureite was a rare metal, even from Edith’s perspective.

It was a material that could not be easily forged, and only high-level blacksmiths with accompanying physical strength could quench it perfectly. Red Cliff City was just a third-rate city in the entire Blazing Expanse. She was surprised to see such a metal here and how it was made into a handle so exquisitely.

Learning that it was made by this youngster was even more mind-blogging for Edith’s understanding. If it were true, then this young blacksmith has the talent to become a very powerful blacksmith in the future.

The young blacksmith did not even hesitate as he stated, "I just found it in one of the junk shops here in Red Cliff City. At that time, it was already in this shape. I thought it was some kind of glass and decided to buy it, but after seeing that it’s durability is very good, I decided to make it into a handle as it also has the shape of one."

Hearing that, disappointment immediately flashed across Edith’s eyes. She thought she had found an outstanding blacksmith; it turned out he just obtained the Azureite by luck.

"I see. Then you can sell that to us instead of throwing it away?" She asked.

"But the reputation..." His words were cut off by Miguel at the next second.

"Don’t worry about it; we’ll keep our mouths shut regarding this matter."

The young blacksmith looked at the elderly as though asking for his permission.

After a while, the elderly blacksmith nodded his head and said, "Alright. But you promise that you won’t say anything regarding this rusty sword, right? No matter what happens afterwards, the shop won’t take responsibility."

"Sure, no problem."

"I’ll sell it for 100 Gold Coins then," the young blacksmith stated.

Although the sword looked rusty, it could not be denied that he made it as if his life depended on it. It was also apparent that they liked the handle of the sword, which in itself could justify the price.

Miguel nodded his head for Edith and gave the young blacksmith the 100 Gold Coins after the elderly blacksmith said to give the payment to him directly.

After that, the young blacksmith went back to the forging room happily as Miguel and Edith continued to browse around the shop.

Miguel spent a total of 1,500 Gold Coins in the shop, including the crude anvil that was made out of Volcanic Iron. The next moment, he summoned his grimoire and stored all the items he just bought inside the grimoire in a flash.

The elderly blacksmith looked at the scene with surprise. Although he knew that they were not simple, he still did not expect that one of them actually owed a grimoire and that it even had the capability to store items already.

For a blacksmith such as him, such ability was greatly sought. Imagine traveling around with your entire workshop stored inside the grimoire. He would be able to forge anywhere he wanted, and he could take all the items he wanted, no matter how heavy, as items stored inside the grimoire would become weightless according to what he heard.

Envy was written over his face, but that was it and nothing else. He had already accepted long ago that he was not fated to become a grimoire user, so he did not dwell too much on seeing such a scene.

After this was settled, Miguel then told Vena to bring them to a shop that sold garments.

Right now, Edith was only using Miguel’s clothes, and although she looked cute in them, it was also not a good thing to let her wear such clothing for a long time. A cloth suited to her was still better than Miguel’s clothes, which were a little too big for her after all.

As they already knew what they were trying to buy, it did not take long for them to buy clothing for Edith. She did not choose much and only bought what was necessary. For a warrior like her, appearance had never been important, and no matter what kind of cloth it was, as long as she felt comfortable when fighting with it, she would naturally not refuse to wear it.

For now, though, she thought that looking good in front of Miguel was not a bad idea either.

In order to avoid her getting jealous and building resentment, Edith and Miguel also chose a red dress specially for Aaliyah. Her red dress that she wore from the start had not been damaged that much, but it was still a good thing to have a lot of spare clothes to wear just in case.

After they were done, Miguel was now left with a total of 1,320 Gold Coins in hand. It was not too much, but it was not too little either, as a normal family could already live leisurely for a few years with his amount of money.

It was already nearing noon when they returned to the City Lord’s Manor.

Miguel estimated that it might take a while for Lino to sell the scales, so he did not return immediately. Instead, he told Vena to go there later and collect the remaining Gold Coins for him. He was not worried about any of them running away with the money, especially Vena. That girl was especially honest and straightforward and would not even hide what she truly felt towards her shameless grandfather. Of course, Miguel confirmed it using his Innate Skill.

At this moment, in the Lord’s Manor, Alderic, who was informed by one of his aides that ’Journey’ was back, hurriedly went to the front door to welcome him back.

He might have acted a little too highly before, but after knowing his strength, he no longer dared to do so, afraid of the consequences it would bring to him, or worse, to the whole Red Family.

He immediately greeted Journey politely as he led him and Edith to his personal library.

"You can read whatever you like here, Mister Journey. If you need something else, just call for the servant that will be standing right outside the door of the library."

Miguel nodded his head as Alderic’s figure disappeared from his view.
